Hey there Auburn & Opelika fitness enthusiasts!
If you went to the vet with your dog (or cat), and the vet told you that your little fur-baby needed to lose weight for its health, what would you do?
Juice cleanse? Fat burners? Waist trainer?
…or would you walk them more and feed them less? 🦮 🐈
Treat Yourself Like You Would Your Pet
For most, their pet is a family member—one whom you probably care deeply about. If a professional told you that they needed to lose weight to reduce disease or improve their quality of life, you’d never in a million years offer them a faddy “shortcut.”
So why are you doing this to yourself?
The Problem with Weight Loss Fads
Pills, cleanses, and fad diets are the very things keeping you stuck in a cycle of weight loss and gain. This is known as yo-yo dieting, and it often leads to regaining even more weight after each fad diet attempt. The more you engage in these shortcuts, the more future pain you’re causing yourself.
Focus on Sustainable Health
When we talk to clients about their goals, we make sure it’s not just about weight loss. It’s about:
- How you think about food: Changing your relationship with food and avoiding using it as a comfort mechanism.
- Reframing exercise: Exercise should be energizing and enjoyable, not a punishment for indulgences.
- Building self-trust: Removing mental blocks and limiting beliefs and developing trust in yourself to make sustainable changes.
Shortcuts Aren’t the Answer
The “shortcut” may seem like a quick fix, but it’s not the path to your long-term goals. It’s simply a shortcut to future pain and frustration. Focus on building habits that support a healthier, happier you—just like you would for your beloved pet.
Keep moving… Stay moving… Stay healthy!
In good health,
